When it comes to your wedding, there are some important parts, which, just like the dress and the cake, should not be overlooked - flowers are one of those vital things.

A good florist will make your life easier, because no one wants a floral disappointment!

A good florist will help you with many aspects of your “big” day, or any ‘regular” day that can use a floral boost.

From helping you choose the ideal type of flowers for the occasion to helping you get fresh flowers in season, from advising you how much flowers you’ll need to assisting you with the simple or extravagant floral designs – your florist will add value and give you a piece of mind.

Lovely flowers picked for a wedding may not last forever, but they certainly do make a lasting impression.

Not only do flowers seriously beautify any ceremony or occasion, they live forever in the photographs and videos you will enjoy and share with your family and friends for many years after.

Whether it’s for bouquets, centerpieces, cake decorations, or for the adorable flower girls, you want to make sure you are getting the colors, the type, and the freshness your occasion deserves.

Your florist should place your order with a wholesale sales representative that regards the meaning of flowers over quantities purchased, and, their experienced staff should inspect and deliver your flowers with care - so your arrangements are as beautiful and fresh as they should be.

So, for your florist to be a provider of high quality fresh cuts, arrangements, bouquets, plants, accessories and other supplies, they should purchase all these goods from a high quality local wholesaler.

There are many reasons why a retail florist should buy from a wholesale florist; according to national research led by Wholesale Florist & Florist Supplier Association. It’s because a good wholesaler will, among other things:

• Stand behind their products
• Introduce retailers to new products and services, which helps them stay competitive
• Educate retailers about important crops – from field to retail market – especially at holiday times
• Identify, process and assemble products for retailers

Trust a florist who understands the game of always having fresh and amazing wedding flowers, supplies and plants. For any special event, banquet, ceremony, receptions, and just because – trust a florist who gets their products from a trustworthy local wholesaler.
